The Pipeline Add virtual lights with the Relight effect in Resolve DAVINCI RESOLVE
This exercise will be a continuation from our previous tutorial in the last issue on isolating backgrounds using the Depth Map. In this part we’ll use the Relight effect, introduced in DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.5, to analyse a scene so that three-dimensionally accurate virtual lights can be added. If you’re not sure what we mean yet, then keep on reading.
Thanks to the Relight effect we’re able to correct lighting mistakes that were made during the production process, or in this instance enhance an existing look with additional virtual lights. Even though Relight is computationally intensive, render caching means you’re still able to enjoy smooth playback in your timeline.
